Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files of the vulnerable system to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

Exploitation evidence

CVE published 5 May 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.

Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), CVSS vector, the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 1 Nov 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Since the vendor has not responded or provided a fix, users should monitor the project repository for updates. Until a fix is available, consider implementing access controls or input validation at the deployment environment level to restrict path traversal attempts. Avoid exposing vulnerable endpoints to untrusted networks if possible.

Description

CVE-2026-7788 is a path traversal vulnerability in Axle-Bucamp MCP-Docusaurus affecting functions that handle document paths. The flaw allows remote attackers to manipulate the DOCS_DIR/path argument to access unauthorized files. The vulnerability has a medium severity with a CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9. The project uses a rolling release model, so specific affected or fixed versions are not clearly identified. The vendor has not yet responded or provided a patch. Exploit code has been publicly released, but no known active exploitation in the wild has been reported.

Impact

Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to perform path traversal, potentially reading or modifying files outside the intended document directory. This could lead to unauthorized data disclosure or modification. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 6.9, indicating a medium severity impact with low vector complexity and no required privileges or user interaction. There is no evidence of active exploitation in the wild at this time.

Summary

This vulnerability exists in the update_document, continue_document, delete_document, and get_content functions within app/routes/document.py of Axle-Bucamp MCP-Docusaurus up to commit 404bc028e15ec304c9a045528560f4b5f27a17e0. By manipulating the DOCS_DIR/path argument, an attacker can perform path traversal, potentially accessing files outside the intended directory. The vulnerability can be triggered remotely without authentication or user interaction. The product follows a rolling release model, complicating precise version tracking. No official remediation or patch has been published, and the vendor has not responded to the issue report. Public exploit code is available, increasing the risk of attack.
